Toney was supposedly knocking down people in sparring via body punch before the 2nd Peter fight, Oquendo etc. Sparring rumors mean little.
For **** Sake. Hatton's not knocking Pac down with a body shot in 1000 years. He cannot do it against a decent opponent. They know whats coming a wont let themselves be bullied onto the ropes in order for him to pull their head down and i=unleash. Not saying Hatton can't win (although he wont) but it will not be ended by that body shot. Get a grip
Agree with the other poster, when a fighter's camp is gushing about their fighter, its because they don't see how the other camp is doing. I still think Pacman can win but the real indicator will come in the 1st 3 rounds. If Hatton can't hurt Pacman in the 1st 3 rounds, Pacman will win.
Hatton is 5 times the boxer he was just lat year. Hes got a great shot to beat Pacquaio. will he do it?? Dont know, but Pacquaio hasnt got hit since Marquez and that was at 130, and we all know Hatton hits way harder then Marquez and is faster. Cant wait for this fight. nothing is easier then picking Pacquaio over DLH though, that was the easiest pick ever.
All this nonsense about fighters knocking down their sparringpartners dosen´t s ay anything at all other than a sparringpartner was hit! IT´S BOXING and when the sparring is serius,these things happen.Tomorrow pacman could go down by a bodysshot...That wouldn´t make pac a worser fighter. The last fight pacman had with de la hoya,De la hoya was hit with everything pacman was throwing...but couldn´t stop de la hoya...
Who gives a shite about sparring you could look like Ali in sparring and then come in on fight night and get an arse kicking. Hatton will hurt pac, he troubled floyd not that often i must admit.
everytime I hear a guy does well in sparring before a fight he doesn't do well in the fight, and when I hear he does badly in sparring he does well in the fight. Doesn't mean that much.
A risky bet so make sure that you take your quote literal! Just bet a little "change" on hatton if you decide to make that bet! That way u don't loose the house.
What would probably happen if Hoya didn't quit at round 8. Roach predicted Hoya going down on 9. Or If Pac went all out at Round 7... Guess we will never know.
